The first assistant postmaster gener-
al has carefully revised and studied the
accounts of the presidential postoffices
in Dakota, and decided upon the sala-
ries which shall be paid to each of them
during the coming year. These salaries
are annually revised by the first assist
ant postmaster general and fixed ac'
cOrding to the revenues of the offices.
The receipts from box rents and COM
missions, or the income of the Office,
determines the salary in every case.
The third assistant postmaster general
claims to be able to give the CONNER
cial status of the various cities of the
country by their postal revenues, and
to predict their immediate future quite
accurately. The advancing towns of
the territory, according to this official
showing, are Aberdeen, Canton, Clark,
Colum bia, Deadwood, Devils Lake
Groton, Huron, Ipswich, Kimball, Mad
ison, Miller, Parker, Park River, Plank.
inton, Rapid City, Redfield, Sioux Falls,
Valley City and Watertown; while the
cities which stand still are Alexandria,
Ashton, Casselton, Glendale, Fargo,
Grafton, La Moure, Lisbon, Mayville,
Milbank, Mitchell, Vermillion, Wahpe-
ton, Woonsocket and Yankton. Those
of which it appears that it must be said,
according to these official figures,
are losing ground at present are Bis
marck, Blunt, Brookings, Chamberlain,
Larimore, Mandan and Pierre. The
salary of the Canton postmaster was
raised from 81 300 to 81 400 per annum.

Mrs. Wilkes KCceItfON

In speaking of the reception given
Mrs. Wilkes at Sioux Falls Tuesday
evening, upon her return from the east,
the Press says: The occasion was a
testimonial of All Souls appreciation
of the labor and sacrifice which Mrs.
Wilkes has from the beginning under
gone in its behalf, and particularly of
work of her recent visit to Boston and
other eastern cities, where she received
over $1,000 cash and pledges amounting
to s 500 for the erection of the house
of worship which the society has COM
menced. The entire affair was gotten
up without any knowledge thereof on
her part until it was publicly announc-
ed, the management being in the hands
of Rev. Miss c. j. Bartlett, pastor of
All Souls, ably seconded by the men,
bers of the congregation. AS a further
surprise, and as mementO of the oc-
casion, very handsome steel engrav-
ing of Ralph Waldo Emerson was pre-
sented to Mrs. Wilkes, who will of
course appreciate it most highly, even
it she shall not need that or anything
else to keep fresh in her heart recol-
lection of the cordial manifestations of
esteem, gratitude and affection which
characterized the reception.

OF Interest to Teachers.

Superintendent Dye has sent out the
following circular to superintendent
and teachers: The National Educa-
tional association will be held at Chi
cagO, July II to Is. 1t is hoped that a
strong delegation will go from Dakota.
There is no reason why our territory
should not be well represented. In ed
ucatiOnal interests we excel many of
the states, which wich will send large
delegations and are more remote from
place of meeting than Dakota. Our
territorial schools high and graded
schools and sectarian colleges should
all be represented, and we believe it
neglect Of duty if they are not. County
superintendent and teachers, so far as
it can possibly be made their convent
ence, should attend. The Importance
of attencance to to the territory and
ourselves is too obvious to admit of dis
cuSsiOn. Arrangements have been
made with Hon. D. II. Kiehle, state su-
perintendent Of Minnesota, for all who
go by way Of st: Paul to 60 in special
cars with Minnesota teachers. The
fremont house has been chosen for Da-
kota headquarters; it is also headquar-
ters for the Wisconsin delegation.
Round trip tickets will cost only one
fare and 50 additional for
membership fee. Anyone can get time
Of ticket extended at Chicago ifdesired.
1t will be well to notify us of your in
tentiOn to attend as early as possible.
All other needed information will be
piyen later.

Division on the seventh standard par
allel will carry by between 10000 and
$1,000 majority in this territory. And
Lincoln county, true to her name-syn-
Onimous with loyalty to home interests
will help swell the number on the
winning side. The day for argument
and dissension on this question has
gone by. 1t is the duty of the republi-
can party, the democratic party and all
true-blue DakOtans to stand shoulder
to shoulder in this magnificent fight of
a mere handful against against the
giant power of solid south and a
somewhat jealous east. 1t is not par
ty question. Neither is it an issue pc
culiarly applicable to any one section
or corner Of Dakota. It is a contest
where the aggregated coalition of the
whole people of the territory constitute
as stated before-a beggarly handful
when compared with the opposition of
the coast, the middle states and all 9TH
er interests that suffer with the onward
move of the western territories. For,
in truth, to what power can 100000
people aspire though girded together
with human chains-when twenty mil
lions are so peculiarly constituted as to
meet the Dakota movement by coun-
ter charge with every move. All Da-
kota, we say, can accomplish little
enough, without mutiny and rebellion
at home. Opposition to division, un-
der existing circumstances, is oppo-
sition to Dakota just the same as was
the "war a failure" cry in 1854 oppo-
sition to perpetuation as nation. It
is home interests for which we are
fighting, and it is for home interests
that every vote should be cast. The
division of Dakota means lower taxes,

Col. Abe Boynton left the latter part
of the week for Bismarck, where the
railroad commission met in regular
session last Tuesday. Although the
Colonel is not much of divisionist we
must admit that he makes a high grade
railroad commissioner. The reasons
for this are obvious. In the first place
Abe is not much Of a sleeper. An act
i've mind in constant motion, backed by
magnificent physique, enables him to
make only a well balanced advance,
and an intimate acquaintance with
all interests of the territory gives him a
chance to do the railroad commissioner
work in competent manner.

Governor Church is to be congratu-
lated upon his success so far in making
representative appointments in this
section of Dakota. The selection Of
Col. Boynton as railroad commissioner
was unquestionably a lucky hit for the
present administration, and yesterday
the wires bring us the news of the ap-
pointment Of Hon. F. A. Gale, of this
city, as colonel on the governors staff.
Col. Gale enjoys a pretty thorough
political and financial acquaintance

This conference invites the serious attention of
the people of Dakota to the fact that this express
sion of the will of the people of Dakota upon this
grave and important question will probably be de-
cisive In its results. 1t is thought by many we'll

mission of Dakota.

large majority OF the people of Dakota, whose
right it is to decide this matter in favor of divs

att influence upon the action of congress.
Therefore We most respectfully call upon all
friends of division to unite, both in sending strong
delegations from each county to the proposed con
vention, and also in polling the largest possible
vote in the county in favor of division.
This is critical moment in the fortunes of Da-
kota. Let her people be united and and earnest.

Sparks and Cleveland are no longer
autocrats. Their glory is gone and
their dream ended. The township as
SCISSOR in Dakota is now monarch of ev-
erything in sight. A decision just rem
dered by Judge Mcconnell to the effect
that county commissioners cannot re-
duce assessments returned by the as
SCISSOR is one of vast Importance. 1t
revolutionizes the equalization business
and vests absolute power with the as

At meeting of the friends Of division held in
Huron on the 7th day of June, 1887 it re-
solved that it is resolved, III view of the election
upon the question of division provided for by 4
law OF the last legislature, that the friends of di-
vision in both north and south Dakota should be
invited to organize themselves thoroughly and to
cooperate in harmony to obtain as large an ex-
people upon the question of division, at the next
election.
Therefore, for the purpose of effecting such Or

ion. we, the undersigned, friends division, here

kota without distinction Of party, to assemble in
their various counties, upon

Aud This Is Prohibition

Sioux Falls Press: An observing
citizen was in Sioux City this week and
returned yesterday on the noon train.
He says he went down there with the
expectation of going into prohibition
town, but he found by enquiring of the
authorities, there were -four-holes-
in-the-wall where all kinds of bug juice
can be purchased and the two breweries
running to their fullest capacity. There
are numerous gambling houses in one
of which there were fully $50 people
present, and of the number 80 were
playing keno.

According to all indications Lincoln
county will enjoy bountiful harvest
this year. This statement is not the
meaningless result of a certain amount
of hope and guess work, but rather
4 conclusion deducted after person
al visit into every township in Lincoln
county. \ couple of weeks ago the
prospects for small grain were not so
tlattering. Lack of rain was naturally
the prime cause for considerable hesi-
fancy in predicting a profitable yield of
small cereals, but the glorious rainfall
the past ten days has put everything
again on growing, rafting plane of
development. But very little attention
is being paid to flax. The flax fields
have been given up to the more prolific
and profitable feature of corn raising,
and in many cases we again see pretty
good sized patches of wheat-as in
years gone by. More wheat is now in
the ground than during any season
since the famous yields of grasshopper
days, and there will be more work for
the roller mills in this section than for
many seasons past. Corn is looking
glorious. With corn king and COW
queen, and this grand combination of
king and queen working and prosper
ing in close harmony, the result can be
nothing but enviable.
To sum up the crop question in the
Sioux valley, we may truly say that
even partial failure of any cereal is
almost out of the question. Farmers,
business men, grain buyers and rail
roads may well view the outlook with
glee.

better home government, less boodling

better home government, less boodling
and greater power in congress. 1t
means the joint appearance of two
great states in the senate demanding
equal rights and a final supremacy for
the northwest, and it means that more
territories now under the heel of sup
preston will shortly come in under a
new rule of decency and common sense.
An anti-division sentiment, a Bismarck
capital howl or a murmur against ad-
mission into the union is truly an exhi-
bition of suicidal dementia. 1t is more
the act of arson than that of a single
man burning his own house. In such
case no other property is injured, no
children will want and none suffers but
the fool who does the deed. In the
case of Dakota we are building for our
selves, our neighborS, our children and
the children of those who will come in
the misty future. The sand we are
building upon is the sand of humanity
and the sand of as nervy a lot of people
us ever trod the soil of the the two
worlds the old and the new. We want
a couple of big states that will tower
up in this region like true giants seek
ing only what is right and getting that
right by force, if necessary. BE a di-
visionist. Don't be 4 clam.
